Preferred Label : synthetic graphite;
IUPAC acronym : CVD;
IUPAC definition : A material consisting of graphitic carbon which has been obtained by graphitizing
of non-graphitic carbon by chemical vapour deposition (CVD) from hydrobcarbons at
temperatures above 2500 K, by decomposition of thermally unstable carbides or by crystallizing
from metal melts supersaturated with carbon.;
Scope note : the term artificial graphite is often used as a synonym for synthetic graphite. the
term synthetic graphite is preferred, however, since graphite crystals can be considered
to consist of carbon macromolecules. although the term synthetic graphite also covers
the cvd product pyrolytic graphite as well as the residues of carbide decomposition,
it is predominantly used for graphitized carbon. such common use is in line with the
above definition. synonyms for this most important type of synthetic graphite are
acheson graphite and electrographite.;
